Streets and Stormwater
The Street Division and Stormwater Programs protect public and private property by providing safe and well-maintained street surfaces and effective drainage for surface water runoff. The goal of the Foster City Stormwater Program is to ensure we are meeting the stormwater requirements under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and to maintain the storm drainage system. Some of the services provided under this program include cleaning stormwater inlets and stormwater maintenance and repair. Protecting our storm drainage system helps keep the San Francisco Bay Area’s Creeks and Watersheds clean. For more information about the San Francisco’s Bay Area Creeks and Watersheds Map, please visit: http://explore.museumca.org/creeks/MapSMt.html.
In addition, the goal of street maintenance is to ensure that public roads are maintained in a safe operating condition. This includes:
- Bridge inspections
- Pavement maintenance and repair
- Sidewalk repair
- Graffiti abatement
- Making, installing and maintaining traffic control devices
- Curb painting maintenance
- Pavement marking maintenance
- Traffic control signs
For more information on street maintenance around your neighborhood or if you notice stormwater issues, please contact the Foster City Public Works Maintenance Division at (650) 286-8140.
